The Card

Graphics Card Front
Graphics Card Back

MSI's card uses a huge heatsink that extends far beyond the card's top edge. Make sure it fits into your case before purchasing the card. It is 14 cm high and 29 cm long.

Graphics Card Height

The card uses a dual-slot cooler. The plastic dome of the GPU reactor on the back of the card increases its height on the side pointing towards the CPU cooler, but it should fit most motherboards without any problems.

Monitor Outputs, Display Connectors

Display connectivity options include two DVI ports, one HDMI port, and one DisplayPort. You may use all outputs at the same time, so triple-monitor surround gaming is possible with one card.

The GPU also includes an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible, which includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support.


Two SLI connectors are available, allowing you to combine up to four GTX 770 cards in a Quad-SLI, multi-GPU configuration.
